VMR wheels are typically on the heavier side as they are gravity cast. But they are a great affordable wheel that are perfect for an everyday driver. Plus the V710 wheels are definitly good looking. You can check out their flickr page or this listing for more pictures and info. However the VB3 doesn't come in 5x114.3 because that is a CSL style wheel, which is a BMW performance wheel.

JDMposer, what offsets do you have? Do they clear the Sport brakes?
I am running a square set up of 19x10 +25. The square set up works out great, as it allows me to rotate my wheels for tire wear.

I'll try to get some pics. I just have some low quality phone shots as I haven't been able to get quality pics yet.

I'm running Tanabe coilovers and SPL camber kits in the rear. Tire sizes are 235/35. I do believe there is room to work with on tire sizes to run more rubber. I'm currently set at -1.6 camber in the rear. No rubbing issues at all.

VMR V710 are great wheels with a very nice price point. Go on any Audi or BMW forums and you will always find great reviews on VMR wheels. We've been selling VMR wheels for over 6 years now and stand behind their product:

How do they look on a G37 Sedan? I have a 2009 Journey and I think I have 17" Wheels?

Would you guys get 19" Wheels If I did go with these, or another rim? Do they just fit right on without any drivability, rubbing issues? Also, HOW DO YOU Re-Calibrate the Spedometer because won't it be wrong if I go from 17's to 19's?

Thanks

Gary

Would you Get these over STOCK OEM Infiniti 19' Wheels?

Thanks,

Bandit...........................

No need to recalibrate the speedometer if you use the right size tires. 225/45/19, 245/40/19, 275/35/19 will barely affect the speedometer (0.5 mph at most). Which size(s) you choose depends on the width of the rim and the look you're going for.

I finally got a quality picture of my car with the VMR V710 wheels. The guys at VMR did a little photo session and this is one of the pics that has been edited. I'm still waiting on the rest of the pics.

These are 19x10 offset 25 all around. Tires are 235/35 all around as well.

BLamb,

Sorry, I didn't even notice you asked me a question. I am running 19x10 offset 25 all around. They are currently on my Journey sedan pictured above, and I purchased these wheels in anticipation of upgrading to the Akebono brakes. They will clear the sport brakes with no problems.

Thanks! I'm not sure if I want to run a square setup so I can rotate, or keep the staggered sizes for better performance.

Rims look great on your car!

I chose the square set up for the reason you mentioned. It's nice and practical for my daily set up. Although, for my next set of tires, I'll definitely run a larger tire seeing that there is still some room to play with. I am thinking of 255/35 or even 265/35.

Jdmposer, love the look of those rims on your car. Very nice. When I spoke to VMR they suggested that I go with the 8.5's since I would get rubbing. I was thinking of going with the 19x9.5s all around, but they thought I would need to roll the fenders. Did you need to do anything special for the 10s to fit? I like the idea of being able to rotate the tires as well.

Thanks for the positive comment! The 19x10 sizes are relatively simple to fit. Depending on your suspension, camber/toe settings, and tire sizes, it really isn't an over the top setup. Initially, I wanted a setup that was as aggressive as I could get without having to do fender modifications, run excessive camber/toe settings, and run overly stretched tires.

This actually fit the bill as there is no rubbing at all, even under full load. There were no fender mods needed, I am running 235/35 tires (which are a moderate stretch, but I don't think it's too crazy), camber in the front and rear are -1.6), and I'm lowered on coilovers.

Believe it or not, there is actually a bit of room to work with as far as clearance. I would like to run 255/35 tires on my next set.

Hope that helps!
